Over the past decade, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center has maintained a stable kidney transplant waiting list of approximately 1,500 patients. While the waiting list decreased to 1,200 patients in early 2025, this reduction was primarily due to patients being removed from the list as their health deteriorated during the prolonged wait. Despite performing an average of 300 cadaveric kidney transplants and 100 living donor transplants annually, the waiting list continues to exceed the number of deceased donor kidneys provided to the center by designated Organ Procurement Organizations.
Compared to other kidney transplant centers in New Jersey, Saint Barnabas Medical Center generally offers shorter than average wait times for blood type O patients.
